(hat tip Michael Goodwin, NYPost) Recall that, starting last fall, continuing throughout the Trump transition and into the early months of the administration, much of the media was obsessed with the Democrat narrative that “Russia hacked the election and Trump colluded.”

It was a maniacal feeding frenzy of "can you top this" reports naming various Trump associates who had any contacts with Russians. It was guilt by association, all based on leaks of classified secrets that originated either in law enforcement or intelligence agencies, or Obama and his henchmen in the White House.

At least six people from the Trump campaign, including Trump himself, were identified in various reports as having been picked up in intercepted communications by the Susan Rice MO.

Always, the reports insisted that the Americans were not the targets of the surveillance, that they were “incidentally” picked up while talking to targets.....(a Susan Rice specialty).

Those six included Gen. Mike Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, then-Senator (now Attorney General) Jeff Sessions and Jared Kushner.....Manafort.... and Carter Page, briefly a Trump adviser.
